Information About Our Events

ACBL Masterpoint Games:

We are pleased to be able to hand out masterpoints and hold weekly ACBL sanctioned games during the school term. All are welcome. The game will be stratified 20/Unlimited or 20/100/Unlimited, depending on turnout. Partners are guaranteed. Unless the game is specifically described as pro/am, you are free to form partnerdhips as you please. The pro/am games will have randomized partnerships. The pairs imps games are subject to on-the-spot change into team imps games provided the number of tables is conducive to a team rotation. You do not need to be an ACBL member to participate. Masterpoints are black unless noted otherwise and handed out at Invitational level. The games are free for individuals affiliated to the university, and a $2 table fee will apply to members of the public. Late arrivals are unlikely to be accommodated, but are welcome to join the social game. ACBL rules on behavior apply; see the ACBL website for details.

Social Games:

Social, non-masterpoint bridge for those uncomfortable with he formal game, those who come late, or those who would like to learn/teach in a more flexible, interactive setting. Space and movement permitting, this game will play boards from the main movement, but unlike the main game table discussion will be encouraged, scoring isn't necessary, and the pairs won't move.

Beginner Lessons:

Bridge lessons by Matthew Dyer, followed by guided play and social bridge are usually held before the main game. A beginner crash-course is held towards the start of Fall quarter by Rolf Hoyer. All skill levels appreciated, but the focus will be on bringing beginners up to speed and teaching the basic 2/1 system.
